Thank you everyone for your replies.

They seem to be level in IQ, or, at least the 150 matches the 135 in IQ.

That so, the native mount and size advantages of the 150 seal the deal.

For an especially enjoyable walk around kit.

The overall size advantage of the high performance M6 II and M mounts is just undeniably fun.

MTF graphs in fact indicate the EF-M wins in sharpness on both the wide and telephoto ends. It doesn't match it, it bests it. Go figure.

It just doesn't go to f/5.6 on the long end... f/6.3 is a very small sacrifice for another 15mm of reach and a much smaller, sharper lens.
